A donation of $1,000 in gift cards was given by H-E-B to the American Legion Post #274 to host a fundraiser in order to raise the necessary funds to maintain the post home, to assist in their numerous community service projects and to assist needy veterans and their families.

The local American Legion Post was chartered in 1922 and has remained active all 88 years. The Post no longer maintains a business and survives solely on fund-raising projects.

On Wednesday, Oct. 13, members will sell a catfish dinner for $6 a plate. Deliveries to businesses will be from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Those wishing to place an order can call Teresa at 358-1550 or 392-1550. Those picking up an order can go to 110 W. Inez St., between O’Reilly Auto Parts and Auto Zone.
